Description

Takaro is the perfect retreat for those who want to get away from it all, to relax and rejuvenate. We welcome individuals for our organised health retreats and small groups for exclusive rental or private and business functions, plus we are specialists for luxury corporate retreats.

This is a privately owned estate, amidst a beautiful sheltered river valley, with mountain views, protected by forest and the wilderness of New Zealand’s unpolluted nature. We have the purest water, the freshest air and a naturally peaceful environment which automatically supports life.

This exclusive rental eco lodge features polished exposed stone walls, traditional log fires and sustainable low energy grass roofs on the wooden lodge and 5 Element and traditional chalets. The surrounding 2500 acre grounds are organic Biogro certified, and include wild deer, grazing cattle, a flock of sheep, a small farm with domestic animals, free range hens, and our organic vegetable and herb gardens. There is also a spa, pool and fitness area which are presently undergoing reconstruction.

The beauty of our rejuvenation retreat concept lies with our training and education in the best of ancient Eastern understanding and modern knowledge of health and longevity combined with our professional experience in life consultancy, natural relaxation and rejuvenation. Our goal is to create the ultimate rejuvenation retreat in New Zealand, and to run Takaro as an exclusive member’s only international destination.

Currently we offer a minimum booking period of 3 nights, on exclusive rental basis, to guarantee you privacy and freedom. We can comfortably accommodate single party bookings of up to 20 guests in the luxurious 5 Element chalets, with room for a further 12 in the Traditional style chalets.

We are self catering, so yourself or your private chef, will have use of our fully equipped kitchens, dining room and bar, or we can arrange hospitality staff for you. Included is unlimited access to seasonal, fresh organic vegetables and herbs from our well stocked gardens and farm. We can provide a shopping service for additional items which can be arranged for a slight additional cost.

The emphasis at Takaro is on longevity, peace, nature, well-being, exclusivity and enjoyment.
